IT Security Initiatives
To comply with the new UWSA Security Policies, UW-Whitewater will be implementing a computer inactivity screen lock.
Starting Thursday, Jan. 17, when your office computer is inactive for 30 minutes, a screen lock will be triggered. To start using the computer again, you will simply re-enter your password. You will find your computer in the same state prior to the screen lock, with all previously used applications remaining open. The inactivity screen lock will only be implemented for office workstations, not lab or classroom computers.
When using a shared workstation, please adhere to security best practices by always logging out of the device when you are finished working.
If you have any questions, please contact the Help Desk, helpdesk@uww.edu, 262-472-4357.
